850 to go. That should be eight hours or so, if Markos stats on the other thread are right. I'll be back then.

I assume the members and threads # has to be accurate too, but even so, they can all be faked, in really very little time.

What if many people "catch it", or fake it?
Take the first one? Woohoo!

Now a 10% discount on purchases that will probably total $Nil, is....
Congrats Wombat.

As was said before, a bargain is only a bargain if you intended to buy the product anyway.

I've been referred to a therapist.

Did you ever tell anyone who that woman was in your avatar? I left too early.

Press the "Print Screen" button, open a paint program, and press Ctrl-V

Then cut out the bit you want, and save it as a jpeg.

Crap... I missed it. Two people posted nearly simultaneously, but if someone wants an accurate fake picture:

There were 21445 Apolytoners, and 50684 threads.

It wasn't an estimate previously, it was the figure from just before when I posted.

No, and I haven't told her that I am using her as my avatar. I doubt she would respond well to it.
